Parked at Llyn Celyn. An anti-clockwise round of: Craig Y Garn, Graig Ddu, Craig Yr Hafod, Waun Garnedd Y Filiast, Carnedd Y Filiast, Carnedd Llechwedd Llyfn, Foel Boeth, Pen Garneddwen. Some horrible heather bashing en route!! I'd do it this way round again. But you'd have to pay me a lot of money to go clockwise. Some delightful navigation through the fields on alleged public footpaths and dilapidated stiles to reach the foot of the hill. Water works bridge very useful.Minto27/05/2022
from llyn celyn cwm hesgyn tracks then pathless heather then on to Craig Ddu could only find a few sheep paths and Craig Y Garn nice rocky top again no paths with heather and boulders hard going return over farmland could not find the row running east to west marked on mapunderhill30/01/2022
Rights of way immediately below this hill are a figment of somebody's fevered imagination... (they're just not there) Lucky The Dog thought that the gorse was pants. Lovely top, thoughmaknipe15/10/2021

Craig y Garn, Graig Ddu and Craig yr Hafod from E end of Lynn Celyn. Paths through fields were quite confusing in places and surprisingly wet and boggy in places! Saw a Barn owl perched on a branch just above ground level only a few yards away.RobertP02/10/2016

First on way round to Carnedd y Filiast. Parked car near dam and walked up from south. Lots of gorse to walk through.Wheelsy21/06/2014
Parked at Celyn dam at SH 88204 40347 and took RoW up past Ysguber-uchaf, then E to Cwm Hesgyn track. Then down to ford river by forest. Then south to very fine craggy summit. For return, dropped south and picked up RoW on south side of hill, and so over river by bridge, and up to ruin at Plas-drain. Then foundered through fields (barbed wire) to reach Ysguber-uchaf again. Maybe best ascended from the east. A fine hill with excellent views.Man of Kernow126/05/2013
